Notable F1 victories from deep in the starting grid
Kimi Antonelli has entered the ranks of F1 victors following a remarkable comeback at the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, where he climbed from 19th place to take the win. The all-time record belongs to John Watson, who triumphed at the 1983 US Grand Prix West after beginning the race in 22nd. Additionally, Bill Vukovich secured a win at the 1954 Indianapolis 500—an event then included in the World Championship—despite starting from the 19th position.
